2025 Craft or Services Vendors

HOG DAY 2025 RULES


Hog Day will take place: 

September 12th from 6pm-10pm 

September 13th from 10am-6pm


  • Bring your own canopy, tables, chairs, and lights. Hog Day will provide lighting for common areas only; lighting your products is your responsibility, so consider battery-powered lights.


  •  Load-in is scheduled for Friday, September 12th, from 12 PM to 3 PM. You will receive an assigned time to load in and it is important that you arrive on time, as we have a tight schedule and limited space. Late arrivals will not be accommodated. I’m arranging for assistance with transporting larger items, but please plan accordingly. If you can’t be there, please have someone bring your items in for you. You have plenty of time to plan for this. Staff will be present overnight Friday. While I recommend storing items in totes under tables, your belongings will be safe if you choose to pack them up.


  • All vendors must attend both Friday evening and Saturday for approval.


  • No smoking, including vaping, is permitted on-site.


  • All payments are non-refundable. If you decide not to attend, your payment will not be refunded. Please ensure you can participate, as this is a rain-or-shine event.


  • Vendor spaces must have an attendant present at all times.


  • Once your vendor spot is paid for, you will receive a vendor packet containing:

- A welcome letter and festival information

- A detailed park map with directions

- Vendor parking passes (please park in the designated vendor lot to avoid delays)

- Load-in schedule


  • Spot preferences will not be accommodated. The vendor coordinator will create a vendor map and send it out a few days before the event. Vendor spots for similar items are limited; we aim to provide variety and will not accept more than two vendors of the same type (e.g., two candle vendors).


  • Sign-ups will be on a first-come, first-served basis but you must be approved. You will be notified when the sign-up site goes live. We are planning on opening signup and payment June 1st.


  • Please remember that it is your responsibility to secure the necessary permits by the required dates. The Orange County Health Department can assist with any questions. They will turn away vendors without proper permits.


  • Only our designated face painter is allowed to do face/body painting, as she has exclusive rights and staff to accommodate the crowd.


  • Lastly, let’s keep this a community event! Be mindful of your language and attitude to ensure everyone enjoys themselves.
